Shoulder Update - Sunday, June 15, 2008 6:52 PM

Hi Guys,

After being able to do f-all gym work I've finally had my shoulder surgery (arthroscopy and acromioplasty) last week. Not too painful but even now I can feel the same dull ache if I try to do external rotation movements (i.e. elbow close to body and rotate forearm from 12:00 to 9:00 (if that makes sense). I really hope that all this hasn't been in vain!!!

Any rehab suggestions/tips from people who have had this surgery before. I miss working out :-(

Commitment is doing what you said you would do after the feeling you said it in has past.

I have nothing for you. Do you have a physical therapist lined up? *REAL WOMEN ARE STRONG*

Work your way into light weights slowly and don't force your shoulder to do something it doesn't want to do.

Good news. I just had my 2 week post-op appointment and the surgeon said I have the range of movement that he would expect at 6 weeks post-op. It's very encouraging... can't wait to get back to the gym!!!! I'm going to take it slowly of course :-)
